It is my youngest child’s last day at his primary school today. He is feeling very strange about that.
He came back with a poem he’d written yesterday. I thought it was pretty good:-
DOING THE RIGHT THING
If you can learn to buy not steal,
even when you can’t afford it.
If you can shake hands when you lose,
even if the opposite team has been mean to you.
If you can play with someone you don’t know,
even if they are younger or older.
If you can tell the truth,
even if it will get you in trouble.
If you get hit don’t hit someone back,
Just tell an adult.
If you have a new toy don’t boast,
Let them have a go even if you don’t know them.
If you do all these things,
Then you are doing the right thing.
